When reading Watchmen, it's very clear how groundbreaking it must have been. If you dabble just a bit in "nerd culture", even just in the form of superhero movies, you can see the widespread influence Watchmen has had on graphic novels, comic books, and superhero stories. I can and do appreciate all of that.
But man, in terms of actually trying to read this? It was a slog for me. Sure, once I got started, I would get into it, but overall reading the book felt more like a chore than a pleasurable activity. It's strange, because this type of work is normally right up my alley, but I found myself picking other books over this one, including other graphic novels and comic books. I'm not really sure what happened here.
So yes, this was a pioneering book, you should read it to understand its place in literature and how it affected pop culture, yada yada. But I won't promise that you'll enjoy the ride. 3 stars.

This is 18+ for a reason. Do not give this to a kid. I can’t have that on my conscienceboy_topics's review
